4G Fixed Wireless broadband has been adopted as a go-to for backup and now even outperforms many other connections especially in regional towns and cities in New Zealand, and is now viable as a primary connectivity option.

“Traditionally, large enterprises were deemed the only companies that needed near 100% uptime, but small-to-medium businesses these days are heavily dependent on telecommunications infrastructure too,” says Wireless Nation sales manager Jason Sommerville.

"Businesses can benefit from SD-WAN because a couple of commodity business Internet connections per site can deliver the uptime they need at a lower price point.”

Sommerville says Wireless Nation is also designs and builds network infrastructure projects, citing a network they have on the Chatham Islands.

“We’re able to create custom solutions, whether the client has multiple urban or remote sites or needs coverage over a large area.”

Kiwi business supporting other Kiwis

As a homegrown Kiwi company established in 2005, Wireless Nation prides itself on being a medium-sized company that is technology-focused and agile.

Wireless Nationprovides a mix of Air Fibre, Satellite, 4G, Fibre, and Copper services, and was the winner of Broadband Compare’s Best Rural Broadband Provider in its 2017 awards.

“It comes down to working closely with your customer and choosing the right connections for the site. Because we provide such a vast array of connection types, we can ensure maximum reliability while controlling the costs,” Sommerville says.
